On my bench today! Singer Touch and Sew 648. I did a cursory evaluation, and shes a little bound up. Her nylon gears all still look intact, but there is a lot of lint and old grease so its hard to see every tooth. So, I will give her the spa treatment and see if I can get her back to sewing!

Gorgeous aqua and cream vintage White sewing machine on my workbench for a clean and service! She is such a pretty machine!

This lovely lady is on my bench for a spa treatment! She came in with stitching issues, the tension was all over the place! Time for a cleaning to see if we can get her back to beautiful stitches again! Goodness how I love these gorgeous vintage machines! 😍

Donald Trump Is Frightened Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”
